CNBC public poll:
28% wants all to be forgiven, 31% “only for those in need”. Given that this forgiveness is more than just “those in need”, seems like 40-50% will support this. Dems are divided 44% to 44% between those who want to forgive all and those for “only in need”, so this is a compromise between two dem fractions. 60% of R-s want no forgiveness. Independents are way closer to Dems here (21% no forgiveness, other 2 options about equal).
60% of Americans are concerned that student loan forgiveness will make inflation worse. (80% of Rs, 40% of Ds, and 55% of Is).

40% are not sure what the approximate interest rate is on their loans (only 30% of Rs who seem to be better in counting their money).
